Discover High Park/Bloor West Village at our smoke-free one-bedroom, private bathroom & lounge with a shared seasonal pool that caters to those seeking self-care, relaxation, and easy downtown access. For busy hybrid workers, find the balance between the city and remote calmness. Vacationers enjoy hotel luxury in a cozy, homey setting. Close to transit, highways, and the airport, convenience is key. Immerse in safety, style, and luxury at your 'home away from home.' Your comfort is our priority.

The space
Welcome to our 'Nest at High Park,' a home that's been described as a warm hug wrapped in century-old wood, modern flair, and a sprinkle of treehouse vibes! Nestled steps from High Park, this two-story haven is your ticket to cozy serenity.

As our guest, your private suite, the 'Ash Room,' on the second floor offers a birds-eye view that'll have you feeling like a nestling. Plus, your very own 'Maple Lounge' boasts majestic tree views and a summer-ready shared plunge pool to beat the heat.

Upstairs, alongside your haven, you'll find our discreet 'Hosts' Haven'—locked and loaded for your privacy and ours.

Downstairs is a treasure trove, housing our private nooks—the main floor's living room and kitchen occasionally open for guest indulgence (we're friendly sharers, promise!). And the partially finished basement? It's our hidden mystery, kept just for us… and maybe a friendly ghost or two!

Come join our cozy nest—where century-old charm meets modern whimsy, and our trees whisper tales of homey comfort.

Guest access
Hey there, welcome! You'll stroll in through our shared entrance, and you'll be all set up in the cozy Ash bedroom suite—it's got a sweet ensuite bathroom just for you. Oh, and don't forget your very own Maple lounge to chill in!

When the sun's out, it's your playground! Dive into the pool from June until September, soak up the garden vibes, and relax in the lounge and eating area—all yours, especially during those sunny summer months. And guess what? Our front porch is your spot, no matter the season!

While you're here making memories, we've got our own cozy corners too—the host's bedroom, bathroom, main kitchen, living room, and basement are our private zones. But hey, there's still plenty of space for us to share the good times!

During your stay
I absolutely love connecting with people, so feel free to ask me anything or share your stories—I'm all ears! Whether you're up for a cozy chat or simply want some quiet time, I'm here to follow your lead.

Sometimes, I might extend an invite to chill in the living room, listen to records, bask in the fire's warmth, or sip tea, but it's completely your call—I want you to feel at home, your way.

If you ever need extra support during your stay—be it meal assistance, booking reservations, or seeking recommendations—I'm your go-to person! Food holds a special place in my heart, and I'm excited to accommodate any dietary restrictions. Please note, there might be additional fees for meals, just to keep things tasty!

Other things to note
While I don't host visiting dogs, my lovable Boston terrier, Betty White, shares this space with me. I strive to maintain a clean home, considering Betty's unique needs, and respect the comfort of my guests—it's essential for us all to feel at ease.

Betty's quite respectful of your private spaces, and there's no pressure to socialize with her if it's not your thing. Although, fair warning, she's got a knack for winning hearts—just might steal yours! But don't worry, she's my world.

If you need street parking, I've got you covered! There's an additional fee, but all I'll need is your license plate number to arrange and print a slip for your dashboard. Easy peasy!
